Passers-by Rescue Man From Lake

Martin Moses, 76, was in stable condition on Saturday evening after two passers-by pulled him from a small lake in Pembroke Pines that he had driven his car into, officials said.

Pembroke Pines fire-rescue workers think Moses was leaving an office complex on Sheridan Street and Douglas Road about 1:15 p.m., when he drove into the lake at the southwest corner of the intersection.

As his car sank, two people walking by dove into the lake and pulled him out of his car, said Maryann Flanagan, a spokeswoman for Pembroke Pines.

Firefighters took Moses to nearby Memorial Hospital Pembroke Pines, where he was listed in stable condition.
